The shop is doing very well and my website is well and truly under construction, at long last I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully within the next coiuple of weeks we will have limited stock for you to peruse.

But! A dream that Janet and I shared for all of our 25 years of marriage, begins tomorrow, December the first 2011 sees the grand opening of BarjanB Crafts, my own craft shop with a rather smart demo and workshop area. The shop is situated in Newbold Verdon in Leicestershire, a couple of miles from the Battle of Bosworth battle field.

More new stock is arriving daily and my web site should be up and running just after Christmas.

About Me

My name is Barry and I have been crafting for over 50 years. Recently widowed I spend most of my time rubber stamping. I also make the card samples for Robert Addams tv shows.
When Janet and I married 25 years ago our dearest wish was to open a craft shop, but due to ill health and caring for Janet's Mum our dream was put on hold. Now I am on my own I wondered what do I do next, no-one will employ me at 60. So the decision was made and I am now "Living the Dream" I opened BarjanB Crafts in December 2011 in the village of Newbold Verdon in Leicestershire.
The shop is well stocked covering all aspects of papercrafts and we run regular workshops.
